Yes, in Israel the electricity comes from coal and natural gas.
In the U.S., the electricity will come from oil.
Hardly an improvement.
Also, because of losses in converting energy, it will require more coal, natural gas, or oil to generate the electricity to run the car than it will gasoline.
Perhaps if there were enough nuclear power plants it would really be worthwhile, otherwise it will place even greater strain on the power grid by adding cars to what have to be supported by it.
It is a nice theory, but at present it is still just a theory, particularly for the U.S.
